Raggalds Flood was deserted and dry this morning but the ground remains boggy and a good rainy period will bring it back to life.
A dog walk down Old Guy Rd tonight in an icy cold W>5 found 3m and 2 f Wheatears on and around the pitch keeping under the shelter of the wall away from the wind along with 1 Skylark and 5 Meadow Pipits.

Looking grim on the birding scene this Easter with work tomorrow to get some hours back then Leeds hospital Saturday morning, Bradford hospital Sunday morning but so far a clear day Monday.
Only 8 trips to Leeds left now thankfully with Lynda suffering from every side effect possible.

NE Gas at Queensbury in Black Dyke Mills yard asked me through a customer what were the Yellow birds that kept landing on their car wing mirrors , answer being a pair of Grey Wagtails.
